DEVELOPMENT OF THE IMPROVED TYPE. 43 



lies well established, one of his neighbors, Col. 

 O'Callaghan, purchased two Scotch Galloway 

 hornless heifers and brought to his farm. He 

 agreed with Colling to have the heifers served 

 by his bull Bolingbroke (86), with the under- 

 standing that if the calves were bulls Colling 

 was to have them; if heifers, O'Callaghan was

 color, dropped a red-and-white roan bull calf 

 in the year 1792, which immediately became 

 the property of Colling. The other calf was a 

 heifer, which was kept by O'Callaghan. Colling 

 had an aged Short-horn cow, "Old Johanna," 

 bred by himself, of moderate quality, got by 

 "Lame Bull" (358), bred by Robert Colling. 

 That is all which is given of her pedigree, no

 crosses of Hubback (319) in him, and his great- 

 grandam was by James Brown's Red Bull (97), 

 so far giving him an excellent pedigree. Old 

 Johanna not having bred a calf for two years 

 was put to this Son of Bolingbroke (from the 

 Galloway heifer), when a yearling, and he got 

 her in calf. The produce was another bull calf, 

 in 1794, Grandson of Bolingbroke (280), red and 

 white in color, which Colling also kept, being 

 three-fourths Short-horn and one-fourth Gallo- 

 way blood. Colling's cow Phoenix, the dam of 

 Favorite (252), had become somewhat aged, and 

 not having had a calf since the birth of Favorite,
